They're Back! The Nolans!

Ohhhhh.... I'm in the mood for dancing! They are back!

Yes! The Nolans! They've split up, reformed, always had another sister ready to step in if one stepped out, battled illness, been derided, but I love them! And they have reformed to go on tour again!

So as an owner of all seven chart singles and a few more besides, plus around the same number of albums, will I stir myself to see them when they play their home town of Blackpool? Anne, Bernie, Linda, Colleen and (ooh...) Maureen - you betcha!

I've gotta pull myself together, don't make waves 'cos we got the chemistry right so pay some attention to me and be gentle, don't love me too hard because who's gonna rock you? Right! Me! Spirit body and soul...

Think I got them all in... Wonder if they need a guitarist...

Who's Gonna Rock You?

Spent most of yesterday, surrounded by old CD cases as we emptied the CD jukeboxes to restock them in some semblance of order.

Now, in case that sounds far too grand I have to point out that although we have two of them and they each take 200 CDs, they are not huge things with bubble tubes and lights. They fit into a standard hi-fi cabinet and are roughly twice the height of a standard CD player. Just tall enough and wide enough for a carousel of CDs standing on edge in fact.

Having 400 CDs spread all over the place though makes for some chuckling at remembering some of the ones we haven't heard for ages. If I play the CDs these days it tends to be by pressing the random button which plays one track at random from a CD then finds another CD and repeats the process. Some of them you might not hear for years...

Anyway it was a prompt to play a couple of CDs all the way through. Aaaaaaahhhh!
